How much can I sell my computer for?

[Elf_Knight]

PC Specs:
i5 4460
12gb ddr3 ram
LGA 1150 micro atx motherboard
Zotac GTX 1060 3gb Mini
Noctua Low Profile CPU Cooler
BeQuiet 450 watt PSU
Fractal Design Focus G Mini Micro ATX Case
No Hard Drives

How much do you think this is worth? I'd like to sell it for at least 300 pounds to cover the graphics card and CPU but I understand if it's not worth very much. I was thinking 450-500 pounds but I don't know how much they go for these days.

100-120GBP, maybe a little more for the CPU/MB/RAM should be doable.

150GBP range for the GPU

The cooler and PSU don't really hold too much value used.... Maybe 25 total.

The case is still viable.... but needs a local sale as shipping is usually cost-prohibited.
Sells for 25GBP + Shipping.

As a complete unit, local sale... I'd hope you could maybe get something in the 400GBP range to the right buyer.... but I'd think you should comfortably recoup 300GBP selling as a total package.

But since none of your components aren't brand new and your build has it's age, price reduction would be 50%.

In other words, £324 would be the max you'd be getting for it. Or even less, depending on a buyer.

That really sucks. I think I will keep it cause they are still quite good for 1080p gaming and I do a lot of gaming on my laptop. I don't know what to do. Definitely not worth it to sell it for 100 pounds.

EVen comparing to cost new -50% can be tough Aeacus.

For example, 50% of the CPU+Cooler+MB+RAM pricing puts it around 150GBP.

The chances of somebody paying even that much, when a modern platform w/DDR4 could be had for very similar money.

Yes, selling old PCs is hard, especially when you don't have complete system. That's why i haven't sold any of my old PC hardware, instead, i've donated them all to a charity that collects, fixes, builds and then donates complete PCs to people in need.

I, personally, would pay £200 for the OP's build if i'd need it. From starting price of £324, £24 would be reduced for it not having storage drive (since i'd need to buy one to get it completed) and £100 would be reduced due to the fact that i can't confirm if the build even works. Since storage drive with OS is needed for conformation.
When to think about it, i'd throw the extra £15 in (£215 in total) since i like that case. It looks like the miniature version of the case where my Skylake build sits in (full specs with pics in my sig).

Thank you for the reply! Sad that old hardware doesn't sell for much though it makes sense. I could at least sell the case and graphics card. I got 190 British Pounds for a previous 3gb 1060 from Gigabyte but needed funds so had to sell it. But I wanna be ready for Battlefield 5 and new games coming out this year so I am going to keep my PC instead. It's an old i5 4th gen but I will keep it until I upgrade to the Ryzen 1600x most likely. Or an i5 8400 not sure which I will upgrade to. I am waiting for ram prices. If I could get 300-400 for it then I would definitely sell it but since I can't I will keep it for now. I tried to sell my i5 CPU and GTX 1060 separately from the PC but they weren't selling. Don't really want to lower the price.

400 quid doesn't happen since at that money, anyone can buy a brand new PC where all components also have warranty, which none of your components have, e.g this little number here:

As said above, max what you could get for yours is 300 quid IF you get the right buyer. Average Joe would pay 150 to 200 quid for it.
